Burnt Offerings

incendiary words build flames

that never die down

remaining in sleeping embers

waiting only for wind and warmth

the slightest spark falling from lips

creates a conflagration

that scorches all

Birthdays Bashed

The signatory yearly event

remembrance of first breaths of life

adding up the time

congratulating achievements

and regretting missteps

especially as life lengthens the past

and reduces time for the future

so many candles reduced to ash.

Welcome to the Smile Side of Life

As your Strategic Humor Facilitator, I could say that laughter is my business, or at least my passion. Each day I learn how important laughter and humor is to our lives; how much it reflects our humanity and affects our physical and emotional well being. Unfortunately, most of us don't laugh enough to gain the wonderful health benefits. Perhaps we think life is too serious for daily laughter, or we can't find enough funny stuff to laugh about. We may not have been exposed to Laughter Wellness and the concept of laughing as an exercise; laughing for the health of it.

In this blog I will not only be looking for, and writing about, laughter and humor in daily life, but also what you can do to bring more of it into your own life. I will help you understand that opening up yourself to laughter and joy helps you through the times of disappointment and sorrow because those emotions represent both sides of the pendulum swing of life. Let's spend as much time as possible on life's Smile Side.
